Order Status Highlighter Extension for Magento® 1

If your online store handles a lot of orders, they can quickly become difficult to manage. The default Magento® admin order grid doesn’t allow admin to organize orders in a way that makes it easier to see orders with a specific order status, payment method, or shipping method.

Visualizing your Order Grid

With the Order Status Highlighter, admin has many options to help visualize the admin order grid by highlighting specific order types.

Store admin can set rules to highlight orders based on order status, including only pending orders, multiple types of orders, or even customers with multiple orders that are still pending.

Configuring the Magento Order Status

Store admin can define a color for each order or type of order that matches a specified criteria.

Store admin can also set priorities while creating any rule using the order grid extension.

When you have an order that falls into two separately defined rules, the rule with the highest priority will become the background color of that order.

The Order Highlighter extension can handle any number of orders for highlighting.

Who has permission to highlight orders?
